Irish Unity by Ben Collins sampler
Irish Unity is the first book to explore Irish reunification in the aftermath of Brexit which is written by Ben Collins who comes from a pro-British and Unionist background and has lived and worked across the UK. In this book Collins explains how he has come to favour Irish Unity. He uses his twenty years of experience working in political communications to give his insight on the current situation regarding the building momentum for Irish Unity, the importance of the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit. In this book he sets out what it would take to win a Border Poll referendum and the importance of preparation in advance. Inspired by the momentum of the Scottish referendum and taking lessons from elsewhere, Ben Collins guides the reader through the steps needed from both sides that he believes will unite Ireland. Collins gives deep insight from a Northern Ireland perspective about how the financial, cultural and social ramifications could pan out for citizens in both parts of Ireland and how it would affect the United Kingdom, Europe and the world.

<strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Collins</strong> grew up as an East Belfast Unionist, describing himself<br />
today as ‘an idealist and a pragmatist’ who believes ‘<strong>Irish</strong> unity is<br />
an urgent necessity’, especially after the trauma of Brexit and what he<br />
describes as Boris Johnson’s ‘betrayal’ of Northern Ireland.<br />
His book is a roadmap towards that end; a clearheaded analysis of<br />
the complex issues, grounded in fact, with terrific historical detail. He<br />
highlights one of the thorniest issues now facing Northern Ireland; the<br />
state created specifically to have Protestant and Unionist majority that<br />
will very soon have neither.<br />
Anyone interested in the future not just of Northern Ireland, but of<br />
these islands, would benefit from this thought-provoking book.<br />
